Starky is a 1.5-year-old, 22-pound mix-breed pup looking for his forever home. The shelter team thinks he might have some Cocker Spaniel and Schnauzer in his lineage, which would explain his handsome beard. He is a playful and energetic jumping jelly bean, excited to go on walks or play with toys. He loves to run too! According to his previous owner, Starky enjoys spending time with children, but because he's still learning how to manage his size and energy, he might accidentally knock over smaller ones if they're not steady on their feet. His previous family didn't have much time for training, so his new owner will need to be patient and help him learn good manners. Starky hasn't been around other dogs or cats, so any resident dogs will need to have a meet-and-greet at the shelter to ensure everyone gets along. With a little guidance, Starky is sure to be a quick learner and a wonderful companion. His adoption fee is $350, and he will be neutered before leaving the shelter.
